I believe that one of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves...never underestimate the power of yourself. It's when you finally stop wondering why and you start believing why not that things inevitably fall into place. When you think that things are bad, stop and think of all the good in your life and be thankful for the little things that other people can only wish they had...Remember that by filling your mind with God's words and thoughts, you will be able to keep a positive mindset in the midst of any negative situation. Always make Peace with yourself...Be rid of the anger, hate, jealously, and sorrow of what life put you through because it doesn't last forever. Remember its when you push forward without fear of failure, it's amazing how quickly a challenge becomes and opportunity...We all have such busy lives, but we must never forget that tomorrow is not promised so busy or not we need to make time for the important things in life...for memories may be all we have left. Time passes way too quick; please find a moment each day to share a word, a touch ,a smile or a hug with those you love. Find the Time...Make the Time...Take the Time. In this life there will be a mix of ups and downs, failures and successes, grief and triumph, but I feel we need to embrace and love every minute of it...While you were young you thought you had all the time in the world. Now that you've gotten older you come realize how short and precious time actually is. It is our obligation to make every minute count for something...There are no refunds on time spent...I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. Philippians 4:11...Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." John8:12..."I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13..

People we need and have to have love...Gay marriage? Lets look at what marriage means according to Websters...which was a former of our constitution... the relationship that exists between a husband and a wife

: a similar relationship between people of the same sex

: a ceremony in which two people are married to each other...

It isnt my place or yours to place judgment on this!...or anyone looking for True Love...Love is Love...People today we have a lot more pressing issues than judging this or anyone! In our own country we allow so much more...addiction,homless,hunger,children being wronged...Our govermenment was formed by the people for the people...where are we then? Goverenmement passes a law we dont agree with and we stay silent??? It is our obligation to voice what we believe but we dont. We as Americans allow so much because we dont want to get involved or we dont have time{lol}...As we consider Gay/Lesbian marriage can we forget that our so called schools are now war zones We are number one in teen pregnacy,...Something happened since we became a country...Thomas Jefferson said that our country was formenend according to the bible...what happenend? We happened or didnt...it is our voice for our country! The world today is our issue for lack of acting. Please dont complain when something doesnt go your selfrightious way...If you belive then speak. People my Father God has a plan for you and everyone...I can and will quote bible verse...4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8...but I also will quote lack of love...If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ...1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

Its time that we put God in not only America but the world again...To do this requires True Faith and Love my friends...We ourselves have us only to blame for our faults...George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, first Chief Justice John Jay; names synonymous with the spirit of our country: the Founding Fathers of the USA. Over Two Hundred years ago, they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain; by Divine call. Citing 27 biblical violations, they wrote the Declaration of Independence; with liberty and justice for all. But, something happened since Jefferson called the Bible the cornerstone for American liberty, then put in our schools for the light ~ or since "Give me liberty or give me death," Patrick Henry said, "Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

We eliminated God from the equation of American Life; thus, eliminating the reason why this nation first began. From beyond the grave, I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead, "You need God in America, again" Of the 55 men who formed the constitution, 52 were active members of their church. Founding fathers (like Noah Webster, who wrote the first dictionary) could literally quote the Bible; chapter and verse. James Madison said, "We've staked our future on our ability to follow the 10 commandments, with all our heart."

These men believed that you couldn't even call yourself an American if you subvert the word of God. In his farewell address, Washington said, "You can't have national morality apart from religious principle," and it's true. 'Cause, right now, we have nearly 150,000 kids carrying guns through these war zones we call public schools. In the 40's and 50's, student problems were chewing gum and talking. In the 90's, rape and murder are the trend. The only way this nation can even hope to last, this decade, is to put God in America, again.

The only hope for America is Jesus. The only hope for our country is Him; If we repent of our ways, stand firm, and say, "We need God in America, again." Abe Lincoln said, "The philosophy of the school room, in one generation, will be the philosophy of government in the next." So, when you eliminate the word of God from the classroom and politics, you eliminate the nation that Word protects. America is now number 1 in teen pregnancy and violent crime; number 1 in illiteracy, drug use, and divorce. Every day, a new holocaust of 5,000 unborn die, while pornography floods our streets like open sewers. America's dead and dying hand is on the threshold of the church, while the spirit of Sodom and Gomorra vex us all.

When it gets to that point then its time... If there has ever been a time to rise up, church, it's now. And as the blood bought saints of the living God proclaim, that it's time to sound the alarm from the church house to the White House and say, "WE WANT GOD IN AMERICA, AGAIN." I believe it's time for America to stand up and proclaim that one nation under God is our demand and send this evil lifestyle back to Satan, where it came from, and let the Word of God revive our dying land! For Jesus Christ is coming back again, in all His glory, and every eye shall see Him on that day.

That's why a new anointing of Gods power is coming on us, to boldly tell the world ... You must be saved, because astrology won't save you. Your horoscope won't save you. The Bible says these things are all a farce. If you're born again, you don't need to look to the stars for your answers; 'cause you can look to the very one that made those stars. History tells us, time and time again, to live like there is no God makes you a fool. If you want to see kids live right, stop handing out condoms and start handing out the word of God in schools.

The only hope for America is Jesus. The only hope for our country is Him; If we repent of our ways, stand firm, and say, "We need God in America, again."

If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

We have to love because He first loved us...I choose to live by the fullest and love as I hope I am loved always!!!

I truly believe that every one of us alone has the power to direct the course of our lives by choosing what actions we will or won't take...We always have a choice...If we decide to walk and live like the with the crowd...then we will find ourselves no further than the crowd...We begin to make a difference when we begin to walk alone...then we will find ourselves places no one has ever been...We all need to love what we Have...Want what we truly need...Accept what we receive...Give what we can...Forgive what we can't...By doing this we can truly bless what we see...We need to become the light that people seek in the darkness that they live...Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart...Know this...when life's obstacles are overpowering and bring you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray. because when God allows a disruptive moment in your life, walk through it by faith rather than by sight and be prepared to say ,"Now I Understand" ,God is so Good...It is time that we begin to live a simple rule...Today I am choosing to let go, and let God take control...Faith is just a decision that we make to trust God and not worry. It's a small thing in our hands, but when we hold the key of faith, God can open many doors. God takes us as we are and makes us what we can become. You can lose everything else but don't lose your Faith In God. Faith can move mountains and walk across rivers. God needs to be your strength not only when all else fails;but with every breath you take. Take it day by day, not because its the best way but because its the only way...Life is God's gift to you, The way you live it...is your gift to God... Dear God, Guide me each day to make the right decisions... Help me to choose the path you have made for me ... Forgive me when I falter... AMEN..."They will rise up against you but will not overcome you for I am with you and will rescue you." says the Lord. Jeremiah 1:19...But even if you suffer for doing what is right, GOD will reward you for it. Do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled. 1st. Peter 3:14.

I have learned in life that you can not find someone to fix you and heal you...You have to fix yourself...Only then can you find true happiness...Never be ashamed of who you are, both on the outside and the inside. Once you accept yourself, then the rest of the world can accept you...Never forget you are beautiful even when someone decides to look but not see...We live and learn, make mistakes, we learn the hard way or the easy way, we make choices, and decisions, in the end, we choose our path, we carry our own blame. Don't let your past define who you are now. Don't let your memories fog your future. You can't re-write your past but you can move on and change yourself. No matter where you come from or who raised you or how bad your life has been, you make your life what it is, blame is a dead end...You're human. Making mistakes is part of what we do. It's how we go about fixing them that matters...Just remember the trials in life aren't always bad. You gain wisdom and courage from everything you go through in life..Have compassion, Be humble, Apologize sincerely, Hold the door, Say please and thank you, Hug people, Don't judge, Love earnestly, and above all, Forgive...Life is a precious thing that has no guarantees so live well, laugh often, and show those that you love how much you care when you get the chance..." God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved" Ephesians 2:4-6...God who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. He will complete all the plans He has for you as you trust in Him. Philippians 1:6 

Its amazing how life teaches us...We learn that good judgment comes from experience...and often experience comes from bad judgment...We need to learn that though mistakes are painful...life has a way of letting us make it through...When we are ready to learn we accept that as time goes by, it becomes a collection of experiences called lessons...We should live life and embrace its lessons...Because if we don't have what it takes...then we should take what we have and make it work...I truly believe that every one of us alone has the power to direct the course of our lives by choosing what actions we will or won't take...We always have a choice...If we decide to walk and live like the with the crowd...then we will find ourselves no further than the crowd...We begin to make a difference when we begin to walk alone...then we will find ourselves places no one has ever been...We all need to love what we Have...Want what we truly need...Accept what we receive...Give what we can...Forgive what we can't...By doing this we can truly bless what we see...We need to become the light that people seek in the darkness that they live...In life I feel that to truly be able to achieve anything we must forgive our past and others...We need to learn and teach others that the past is our lesson...The present is our gift...The future is our motivation...Always stay extremely motivated looking forward to a Wonderful future...All we need is Faith in us...Remember, no matter what life throws your way, situations change. Just keep looking deep inside you...That is where all of our dreams and ambitions come from...We should always challenge the impossible...be always ready to explore beyond our comfort zone...Always refuse to be limited by boundaries and never settle for less than we deserve....When we focus on possibilities, we will have more chances for all the opportunities that we need...Anything is possible as long as we ask for it and believe that we will receive it... Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:7-8...Don't forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God. Hebrews 13:16...I'm not there yet but I strive to forget the things of the past and grasp the things that are in front of me now and press on to reach my goals.Phil 3:13 

When you pray know that your prayers are answered always...God in his wisdom uses each of us to help...to truly believe this you must know and accept that love can only survive with friendship, communication, trust and patience, and by how you handle your ups and downs together not alone...God wants us to work as a team always for a better world...The value of a person is not measured by what he does for himself to make his life easier, But, measured by what he does for others to make their lives easier...Humility is what reminds us that before we judge others we ought to remember we aren't perfect either...value not the things you have in life but rather who you have and help in life...blessed are the people who understands that the reason for praying is not only to have what we want but in ways to help others and to accept what God has given us. Please remember that prayer is not a "drive-through" service..you don't get to "place your order" and then "drive forward" for fulfillment. Patience, Let God handle it...Dear Lord. Wrap your arms around everyone in need and bless the families of those affected by life. Give them the courage and strength to move forward. Keep believing, keep praying, keep hoping, and keep pressing on! Your breakthrough is on it's way..

Luke 12:2-3

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark, will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.Kids like to play pretend. It's a game in which everyone gets to choose who they want to be. That might be a superhero, a princess, a teacher, anything they want.We all played pretend as children. We try to say that we don't play that game anymore now that we're adults, but that isn't true. We play pretend all the time. We pretend that something doesn't hurt or scare us. We pretend a situation doesn't need our attention. We pretend that everything is fine in our relationships, so we don't have to confront anyone. We pretend that everything will be alright if we just ignore them. As adults, we don't call this playing pretend: we call it DENIAL.Breaking out of denial isn't a one-time thing; we have to do it again and again. Denial always ends up causing us more pain. Ultimately, denial keeps us stuck and unable to get the healing we need.Making the decision to step out of denial and into God's truth can be uncomfortable, even painful. But in the end, dealing honestly with the issue will be a key part of recovery in that area of our lives.

PRAYERThank You, Lord, for helping me face my problems and deal with them rather than burying them and pretending they don't exist.In Jesus' name. Amen.

There are times in all of our lives that we feel down and alone. I just want to remind you that we are never truly ever alone because...even if we feel like we're alone and we feel like no one cares, truth is, if we take the time to open our eyes, we'll see that we were never alone.Never forget that God only gives you what he knows you can handle. There is no situation that you are experiencing alone. God walks beside you always...His promise to you...When you think you stand alone look beside you... I have never left you. God's promise of love and mercy shall reign with showers of comfort, guidance, peace and harmony even in the middle of the storm. God will always carry us through every form of trouble that we face...Just when you think you can't go on, God is there and God's Word provides the grace and love you need to take on whatever life has to deal out. Gods love has no limits,Remember when we do what we can, God will do what we can't. God pulls me through every day. Sometimes I may have more, sometimes I may have less, but he always makes sure I'm never left with nothing...Heavenly Father, I just ask that You wash over me and bring me that peace only You can. Walk with me, and give me the strength to just get through today. Lord,You have carried me through all my difficult times. I thank You for Your Goodness and Mercy for giving me so many Blessings in my life.Call upon me in the day of trouble:I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.Psalm 50:15...Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Have FAITH and BELIEVE...GOD will show you what you need to see...Hebrews 11:1.
